Very vivid, the language of petanque is rich in expression:
Make a bottle: The ball glues the goal .
Make a Palouf: A ball far too short.
Pull the raspaille: the ball rolls before touching the ball aimed .
Old Fart: it consists in thronging the ball and lightly touching the ball aimed without making it move enough .
Take a fanny: Losing a game on the score of 13-0.
